Arc de Triomphe • The Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile, often called simply the Arc de Triomphe, is one of the most famous monuments in Paris, France, standing at the western end of the Champs-Élysées at the centre of Place • Paris (nicknamed the City of light ) is the capital city of France, and the largest city in France. The area is 105 square kilometres (41 square miles), and around 2.15 million people live there. If suburbs are counted, the population of the Paris area rises to 10.7 million people. It is the most densely populated city in the European Union, with 20.653 people per square kilometer • Paris is monumental, in terms of its size of course, but also its rich architectural heritage! One of the symbols of the capital, its most famous monument is of course the Eiffel Tower. This unique “Iron Lady” offers visitors unrivalled views. Not far away is the equally emblematic Arc de Triomphe. • Ever wonder why Paris is called the City of Light and the City of Love? Here, we’ll explore the myths behind the nicknames and other fun facts about Paris. With its profound history and vibrant culture, the French capital captivates travelers from all over the world. Did you know that visitors spend around 35 million nights in Parisian hotels each year? That’s roughly 95 millennia. Whether it’s the food, the sights, the atmosphere, or the history, Paris has something for everyone. If it's your first time in Paris and are wondering what makes it one of the top European destinations, delve into the details of these little-known facts about Paris. • • 1. It’s not the City of Light (just) for its illuminations • One look at the Parisian cityscape by nightfall might give the impression that the moniker “City of Light” comes from its luminous evening lighting. It’s partially true — Paris was one of the first European cities to adopt street lighting, at the behest of Louis XIV. However, the nickname gained traction as Paris became the epicenter of the Enlightenment in the mid-17th century. The philosophical and scientific advancements during this time put Paris on the map, but today you can still be dazzled by the twinkling lights as you cruise along the Seine at sunset. • • 2. Artists protested the construction of the Eiffel Tower • The Eiffel Tower, c’est magnifique — though the artists of 1887 didn’t seem to think so. This timeless landmark was considered a blight on the cityscape at the time. A group of prominent artists petitioned against the tower, calling it a “gigantic black smokestack.” Gustave Eiffel defended his and architect Stephen Sauvestre’s plans, comparing the Iron Lady to the Egyptian pyramids. • 3. It has some of the most expensive restaurants in the world • If you’re going to splurge on fine dining anywhere in the world, Paris would certainly be the place for it. Delight your palate with the finest haute cuisine at Paris’ many restaurants. The 12-course menu at Guy Savoy a little out of your budget? Treat yourself to a gourmet three-course dinner cruise along the Seine, with better views than any restaurant, no matter the price. • • 4. The French Revolution barred women from wearing pants • The French Revolution promised “liberty, equality, fraternity,” but not to the pants-wearing women of Paris, who had to get permission from a police officer for their fashion choice. These “sans-culottes” were working-class revolutionaries who flouted the law for two centuries until the French government officially repealed the ban in 2013. Discover the history behind it on a walking tour, or experience modern French fashion with a shopping day or fashion show. • • 5. The Louvre is the world’s most popular museum • This former medieval fortress and now mammoth art museum consistently tops the charts for the most-visited museum in the world. It’s easy to understand why: the Louvre’s collection consists of over 600,000 pieces, spanning over two millennia of world history and including the world’s most famous painting, “Mona Lisa.” Although you’d need about 200 days to see each piece at the museum, you can make the most out of your visit with a guided tour. Just remember the Louvre has remained traditionally closed on Tuesdays since WWII, so plan accordingly • • Paris is the capital and most populous city of France. Situated on the Seine River, in the north of the country, it is in the centre of the Île-de-France region, also known as the région parisienne, Paris Region . The City of Paris has an area of 105 km² and a population of 2,241,346 (2014 estimate). • • The Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile, often called simply the Arc de Triomphe, is one of the most famous monuments in Paris, France, standing at the western end of the Champs-Élysées at the centre of Place • • #paris #parisguide #travel #dubaivlog #dubaiabra #eiffeltower #dubairunlocation #airbus #paris #aircraft #dubai #dubairun2024 #dubairun2024news
